In 1895 the publication of the first volume of Tiruppukal was released, with 603 songs. The second edition was brought out in 1909 after a fair amount of rechecking and revising. The third edition in June 1921 was the effort of his sons V.S. Shanmugham and V.S. Chengalvaran, in which some new songs were added. The fourth edition, of June 1931, included the literary work Tiruppukal Cirappu Pāyiram. Second volume The second volume was printed in 1902. It contained songs of Pañcabhūta sthalas and 158 songs of places from Kasi to Rameswaram. The second edition was brought out in 1923 by his sons V.S.S. and V.S.C. Thirty-two new songs were included in this edition. Third volume Although V.T.S. did not live to see the publication of the third volume, he did most of the spade work. In 1926 this volume was published, containing 309 Tiruppukal songs and other works of Saint Arunagirinatha, including Kantar Anupūti, Kantar Alankāram, Kantar Antāti and Tiruvākuppu. This volume included a research write-up on canta (rhythm), a biographical note on Saint Arunagirinatha, hymns of praise of the saint, and analytical research notes on the saint's works. "Tiruvelukūrrirukkai" was excluded by V.T.S., as he suspected possible imperfections. However his sons, impressed by the flow and content of the song, ventured to include it in the third volume. Incidentally, his son V.S.C, who had inherited the same love for Tiruppukal, made further contributions by presenting Murukan Vēl Panniry Tirumurai along the same lines as Saiva Tirumurais, wherein the meanings and commentaries for all of Arunagirinatha's works are elucidated. This was published in six volumes during 1952-57. The twelfth Tirumurai (corresponding to Periyappurānam) called "Ceytontar Purānam" was composed by Tenur Cokkalingam Pillai. It was Sri Vallimalai Saccidananda Swamigal (1870–1951) who was chosen to popularize the Tiruppukal songs. Just like V.T.S., Vallimalai Saccidananda Swamigal, attracted by the beauty of a song at Palani, managed to get the first volume published by VJS and started singing these songs. He met V.S.C. at Tiruttani temple in 1912, and this led to a lifelong friendship. Swamigal selected a series of devotional songs for use during the various steps of a routine daily worship. For spreading it on a large scale, the Pati Vilā (step festival) on 1 January of every year, was started in Tiruttani in 1918. Other publications V.T. Subramania Pillai's other publications include: Brahmōttara Kānda Vacanam (21 January 1879); Tirutarupūnti Stalapurānam
